Psydub

Psydub (not to be confused with dub) is a fusion genre of electronic music that has roots in psychedelic trance, ambient and dub music. Incorporated dub elements are melodic basslines, deep reggae roots and producing techniques like dynamically adding extensive echo, reverb, panoramic delay, and occasional dubbing of vocal or instrumental snippets from the original version or other works. An incorporated ambient element is an emphasis on tone and atmosphere.
Incorporated psytrance and Goa trance elements are low-bass frequencies and hypnotic melodies and the use of vocal samples, often from science fiction movies. Those samples mostly contain references to psychedelic drugs, cannabis, parapsychology, extraterrestrial life, existentialism, out of body experiences, dreams, physics, molecular biology, electronics, time travel and spirituality.
Psydub is also highly influenced by the music of India.
